Evidence of nationality is checked at the point of recruitment into the Civil Service as part of wider pre-employment checks, but there is no requirement on departments to retain this information beyond the point at which it has served its purpose. More broadly, the Government will be consulting in due course on how we work with business to ensure that workers in this country have the skills that they need to get a job. But there are no proposals to publish lists of the number or proportion of foreign workers.</p> answering member constituency Brighton, Kemptown answering member printed Simon Kirby grouped question UIN 47594 question first answered 17/10/2016 09:44:00 answering member 3929 label Biography information for Simon Kirby

Tax-Free Childcare provides a 25% top-up on money paid into an online account, which parents can use to pay their childcare provider. Parents can receive up to £2,000 per child, per year in Government top-up and there is no lower limit on deposits.</p><p>The introduction of Tax-Free Childcare is an opportunity for all employers to engage with working parents, not just the minority who offer childcare vouchers.
